You Can't Count On Me

Counting Crows · Saturday Nights & Sunday Mornings [2008]

Anything's hard to change

But hey I got you down on your knees again

You watch the sky

It's a pale parade of passing clouds

That cover

The bed upon which we laid

In the dark

And the memories that I made

Of a laughing girl

But you're just my toy

And I can't stop playing with you, baby



If you think you need to go

If you wanted to be free

There's one thing you need to know

And that's that you can't count on me



Coming along real good

But I still can't do most of the things I should

I watch the sky coming down to bury me and

I can't stop this crawling out of my skin

I know that you see yourself flying in

Out of the sky

Coming down

To carry me

But I won't come out



So if you think you need to go

If you wanted to be free

There's one thing you need to know

And that's that you can't count on me

No you can't count on me



I watched all of the same parades

As they passed on the days that you wish you'd stayed

All this pain gets me high

And I get off and you know why



So if you think you need to go

If you wanted to be free

There's one thing you need to know

And that's that you can't count on me



So if you think you need to go

If you wanted to be free

There's one thing you need to know

And that's that you can't count on me



Aw you can't count on me

No you can't count on me
